Building mutually beneficial partnerships with creative and cultural organizations provides opportunities to develop and deliver innovative projects and performances. For academic programs, partnerships can lead to high impact teaching and learning opportunities that result in creative accomplishments for students and faculty. Partners can realize unique and innovative projects, quality results, increased audiences, brand building and more.
